This course is an exploration of the natural history and management of trees and woodlands and is suitable for anyone with a strong personal or professional interest in the status of woodlands in the British countryside.

A series of illustrated lectures on woodland themes are complemented by field excursions to some of the finest ancient woodlands in Suffolk and Essex, plus a visit to the Suffolk Records Office to look at a variety of secondary sources.

Please note that a fair amount of brisk walking is involved on most days, but also a fair amount of standing and discussing, so you may find that bringing a chair-type walking stick is useful.

Please note that compared to our April course the days are different, but the course duration and content is broadly the same.

The content is appropriate for anyone wishing to contribute to their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.

Oliver Rackham OBE is one of the acknowledged experts on the history and ecology of woodlands and author of major books on the history of the countryside.

This course is part of our programme of Professional Development Courses. You can find out more in the Professional Development section of this website.
